The squad carries forward the core of the team that toured England in July and impressed in both formats. Mhatre, who led from the front in England, was the standout performer in the two-match Youth Test series, finishing as the top run-scorer across both teams. He amassed 340 runs in just four innings, including two centuries and a fifty. Under his leadership, India drew the Test series 0-0 and edged the ODI leg 3-2.

Ayush Mhatre slams fastest Youth Test century, gets to landmark in 64 balls vs England
India U-19 captain Ayush Mhatre got his name into the record books on Wednesday, July 23, as he scored the fastest-ever hundred in the history of youth Tests. Mhatre put the English bowlers to the sword as India were chasing a target of 355 to win the Test on the final day of the match. Mhatre was in stunning form for India during the Youth Test series against England, scoring a hundred in the first innings of the first Test. He then followed it up with a 32 as the match ended in a draw. In the first innings of the ongoing match, Mhatre scored a brilliant 80 off 90 balls. England had declared their innings at 324 for five, setting India a mammoth total to chase. advertisementIndia got off to the worst possible start as Vaibhav Suryavanshi suffered a rare failure and was dismissed for a golden duck. Mhatre started the innings slowly and then quickly changed gears with a six and a boundary off the third over. He followed it up with three boundaries off the fifth over against Alex Green. The England bowler continued to be targeted by the Indian skipper, who hit him for 14 runs. The Indian captain got to his fifty in 25 balls as the visitors turned the chase into one we would see in ODIs as they scored 78 off the first 10 overs. By the time Vihaan Malhotra fell, India posted 104 runs by 14 overs. Mhatre found support from Abhigyan Kundu and the duo continued to put their foot to the pedal and score at a very brisk pace. Kundu took the run-scoring pressure off his captain as Mhatre slowly reached the 90s. He then hit another six to edge closer to the record and then took a few singles to break the record with his knock from 64 balls. The previous record was held by George Bell of England, who scored his century in 88 balls against Sri Lanka U-19 in 2022. Mhatre himself is in the third spot for his hundred in the first youth Test when he reached the landmark in 107 balls. Mhatre continued his onslaught and was finally dismissed for 126 runs from 80 balls and he hit 13 boundaries and five sixes. - Ends

Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma's 2027 World Cup Dream Difficult, Ex-India Star Gives MS Dhoni's Example
India stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli bowed out of T20I cricket after guiding the team to the T20 World Cup title in 2024. That trophy ended India's 11-year-old ICC title drought. Later, the duo also called time on their respective Test careers in May this year, leaving the fans heartbroken. However, both the players are still active in the ODIs and aim to play the ODI World Cup in 2027 and help India clinch the trophy. However, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh feels that it will be quite difficult for them to play in the prestigious ICC tournament. Harbhajan stated that after retiring from two formats, it becomes difficult to maintain a good performance, especially for a tournament like World Cup. "It's too far, actually. It's been a very long time, and they are not playing any other formats. It becomes very difficult for anyone, no matter how much commitment you have or how big a great you are," Harbhajan said on his YouTube channel. "If you do not play the game continuously, somewhere the game moves ahead and you are left behind," he added. He went on to give an example of former India skipper MS Dhoni, who did not feature in international cricket after India's exit from the 2019 World Cup. Harbhajan called out Dhoni for his batting struggles in the IPL. "It will be hard. We have seen MS Dhoni playing in the IPL. Look at his performance in the last three years," he said. You see the difference between this Dhoni and the Dhoni from six years ago when he was playing for India consistently," Harbhajan added. Earlier, former BCCI selector Jatin Paranjpe revealed a conversation with Rohit Sharma, where the latter had expressed his desire of playing Test cricket for India. "I remember he was not playing Test cricket for India. And we had this conversation, and he said, 'I started playing cricket with a red ball, Jatin. How can you say that I am not interested in Test cricket?' I got the message, and I was hoping that that was what he would say," Paranjpe said on 'A Century of Stories' podcast with Cyrus Broacha.
